Bad Backlink?

[BeckyKey]

Hi

I found this site whilst looking through WMT backlinks to our site:

http://www.buildingarena.co.uk/companies/key-industrial-equipment

Is this type of iFrame of our site a bad signal to Google? It's not something we've done, so I'd like to know before getting it removed.

Thanks!

Hi Cyrus

Thank you for you feedback. I'm going to leave it there for now and see how we go.

Thanks again

Great thank you.

These pages are thin in terms of amount of content as they;re product pages, but I am working to improve this.

The one thing I find tough being the only SEO is balancing

Improving content, backlinks, social/out reach and then the technical onsite stuff.

Trying to do a bit of everything, but then the worry is I only scratch the surface.

Thanks for the great advice as always!

Interesting note about iframes. Google typically attempts to associate the content of an iframe with the originating/hosting site. How this plays into how Google interperets the "link" from this site - I have no idea, but I doubt it's very harmful.

Hey Josh

Thanks for the feedback! No penalty yet, I previously worked on a site with a sitewide [an agencies doing] and cleared it up, but that was thousands of bad, guest post links.

When is this new Penguin due to come out?

Do you rate trying to optimise your crawl budget? Is it still measure on whether your Page has much authority? A lot of our product pages have a low authority, so will they just be ignored?

Hi Becky,

I took a quick look at the link you provided and in my opinion you are probably better off approaching the webmaster for this site and asking that they remove the link to your site. They have so many iFrames on their site that it probably isn't doing you any favours on the link profile front.

In short, it probably isn't hurting you very much, but you want it removed if possible.

Hope this helps!
